<p>It's a magazine , it's articles cover a wide variety of topic from poetry to fiction</p>
<p>yea just read the paper or magazines like The Economist, and do a little test prep, reading > doing mass CR sections</p>
<p>if you dont have a good mag, you can either subsribe, or read stuff online, the economist and ny times have stuff online along with other stuff, just look around.</p>
<p>I hate CR. Just bought Grammatix SAT study guide a few days ago. I heard some people on CC say that it works like "miracle." Anyway, after trying their strategies, I really really like CR now, since I am finally so sure that I CAN get every question right. Try Grammatix if you are really desperate, like me. </p>
<p>I don't really think memorizing vocabs or doing tons of meaningless reading would help you alot especially on the CR sections. I used to force myself memorzing vocabs, but really didn't make that much of a difference. </p>
<p>And hey, that's why SAT is called the "REASONING" test. They are not actually testing your "academic knowledge," but your reasoning skills. Sometimes, it sort of depends on a person's natural IQ. For instance, I know several people who NEVER even studied for the SAT and all scored above 2200+, maybe they are just natural test takers.</p>
<p>Oh, another point about memorizing vocabs: DON'T, unless you are sure that you've tried every possible strategy and you are bored.</p>
<p>A more legitimate way to approach the sentence completion sections is to learn to ANALYSE vocabs. Learn the basic prefixes, cognates, and the "tone or feel" of the words (trust me, these are really easy tasks). For example, when you meet a question in which you don't recognize a single word, you can approach it by first asking yourself: "Does the blank needa POSITIVE or a NEGATIVE word?" That should be very easy to determine, if you read the context. Then, if you decided that the blank needs a POSITIVE word, from the five answer choices, pick out any POSITIVE sounding word (they usually arise from your first instinct of that word). Analyse the prefixes afterward to eliminate the remaining wrong answers.</p>
<p>That's what Barron's 2400 recommends-- the positive/negative thing.</p>
<p>ahh good thing there is karen dillards in dallas</p>
<p>cmon you guys, its not that hard to memorize vocab. Just jot down the words you have problems with in the BB on flashscards. its as easy as that. Now I almost never miss any questions pertaining to vocab</p>
